President Donald Trump on Monday attacked his Justice Department for indicting two Republican congressmen ahead of this fall's midterm elections, admonishing Attorney General Jeff Sessions for potentially robbing the GOP of "two easy wins" in November.
"Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department," the president wrote on Twitter. "Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff."
Rep. Chris Collins of New York and Rep. Duncan Hunter of California — the first two lawmakers to endorse the president's 2016 bid for the White House — were indicted last month. Sarah Isgur Flores, a spokeswoman for the Department of Justice, declined to comment on the president's online remark.
TVNL Comment: This is insane. The President of the United States just slammed his Attorney General for indicting two GOP legislators of crimes they appear to have committed. Does this mean corrupt Republicans should be exempt from prosecution? Is there nothing stupid that Trump can say to convince his fans that he is certifiably insane?
